Mentor a teen!

We are excited to be reinstating our teen mentoring program! Do you have a heart for youth? Do you want to learn from the leaders of tomorrow? Then this opportunity is for you!

Being a mentor is a year-long commitment to walk alongside a middle or high school student from our neighborhood and provide support and guidance by studying the Bible together, providing accountability for goals and spiritual disciplines, chatting about life, and offering advice from a Christian worldview.

The teen mentoring program will begin in July of 2024. If you would like more information, please email volunteer@agapedevelopment.org.

What knowledge and experience can you share with our neighbors? Lead a conversation or activity for our women or teens for an evening. Need ideas? (but not limited to these) Personal testimony. Estate planning. Budgeting. Careers. Self defense. Cooking. Yoga. Tie-dying shirts. Card making.

Shaved Ice

Agape Shaved Ice provides real job experience for the teens of our neighborhood. Host our teen small business, Agape Shaved Ice, at your next event! VBS, company picnic, birthday party - what is your next fun event?

Other Volunteer Opportunities

Parent Night Speaker

Parent Night is an opportunity for parents to learn more about what their children are doing at BBC as well as to learn new ways to engage with their children. Volunteers with expertise in education, learning games, parent/child conflict management, and other relevant topics are invited to come share with parents.

Afterschool Program Assistant

Spend one day a week with the K-5th grade children enrolled in Backyard Bible Club and assist with homework, chapel, and other activities. 4:30-5:45pm. We ask that you commit to coming at weekly in order to build relationships with staff and children.

Provide Peace of Mind for a Parent

Providing safe and reliable childcare makes the difference in neighbors being able to attend programs that can change their life! Free childcare overcomes a significant barrier to attending a program. By volunteering your time, you are giving peace of mind to parents looking to become community leaders. Volunteer commitment is to commit at least twice a month.

Weekly Mondays 6:30-8:30pm

Alternative Ways To Get Involved

Program Meals

WHEN FOOD IS MORE THAN JUST A MEAL


Sharing a meal help develops relationships deeper than just within the set program curriculum. It allows a time of fellowship and relationship building between neighbors and staff as well as removes the obstacle of having to find time to cook a meal before participating in a program.

Snacks

Snacks are provided to both the children and teens during program time. Snacks can be delivered in person or sent to the office via Amazon.

Trade/Skilled Services

Donate your services as an electrician, plumber, exterminator, painter, handyman, or carpet installer for one of the facilities or Gateway homes.

Group Projects

Although we try to complete our group projects on the work days, we occasionally have one-off projects that need to be completed. Please email for more information and project availability.
